Overdue for another Ice Age?

#1

Post by Gaara-San »

I hear we are overdue, than again, I hear we are not. Which is it? Also, can someone tell me a little bit about Ice ages?

Thanks in advance.

LMFAO..!!!!

Asshole...

I suppose that you are talking about a "The Day After Tomorrow" type of scenario...Well I don't think that is on our list of super disasters, I'm expecting the Super Volcano you're living on to erupt first... /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />

The fact that you heared "I hear we are overdue, than again, I hear we are not." says to me that these scientist don't know what their talking about.

When it's 39 degrees in mid-October in Florida, I say we're already in the middle of one!!!

The last one was 18,000 years ago, since then it has been warming up. There was a "little ice age" around the middle ages or soon after, I think the Thames was known to freeze and people would skate on its ice.
The Quaternary Period is in/famous for its haphazard cycles of changing weather patterns, ultimately related to particular astronomical cycles. I cannot remember what they are called, but one is the one that happens every 400,000, then 100,000, then 10,000, sorry I don't remember the exact time frames, but it's something like that. I apologise for the vague explanation.

We're still in the Quaternary, so I don't think we are overdue for the next glacial period, but maybe a little late. Global warming has been happening all along, it's just that pollution made it a little faster.
